 Affiliate marketing tutorial for beginners. Easy $5,000 a month. You know, when I first got started, I was thinking, gee, man, if I could make some money online, that'd be really cool. And I finally did make a sale and it was for $10. And you may say to yourself, well, $10 is nothing, JR. And it is nothing. You're right. But the point was, I cracked the code. I was able to make some money online. And I figured if I could make $10, maybe I could make 20, maybe I could make 100. Since that time, we've sold millions and millions of dollars of products online. But once you realize, once you get that first sale, once you realize you can do it, then the limit, there is no limit. There really is no limit. You know, we've been growing and growing year after year and we've gotten involved in a whole lot of other different things. One business would get a little bit slow, so we would work to earn another business. But the bottom line is we learn the techniques, the skills to actually make money online. Now, if you want to learn these things, stick with me on this video. I'll share them with you. But the first thing I want to get in your head is $5,000 not much money. Okay, $5,000 not a lot of money. Five grand a month is not a lot of money. Now, it may be to you right now. Right now, maybe you don't make $5,000 a month. Maybe that's a tremendous amount of money. Or maybe you do make that and you just want to supplement and you want to make another $2,500 or $3,000. So, we're going to talk about $5,000. And first off, I want you to get into your head, what is $5,000 a month? It's $166.67 a day. It's not a lot of money. Okay, it's not a lot of money. But I want you to understand it is a small amount of money, okay? What you've got to do is you've got to be a merchant online. You've got to actually become somebody who sells stuff online. And you got to have the right tools and skills to do that. And that's what I'm going to give you in this video. Now I've been selling online, shoot over 10 years. And we sold millions of dollars of product, both digital and physical products. And don't forget also, subscribe there real quick before we get into this. Hit that subscribe button and ring the bell. Turn on all bell notifications so that I can notify you every single time we do a new video. And give me that thumbs up. That really helps the YouTube algorithm. Okay, so the first thing you need to do is decide on a niche, okay? You have to have a niche. Now I've got several niches. My wife's got niches. We both sell stuff online. I have one niche that is survival food, survival cave food. You're welcome to look that up. We've been around for years, sold millions of dollars of that product. And that is a survival niche, okay? So we're in that niche. So you got to select your niche. And then once you select your niche, whatever that is, and I have another niche, which is how to make money online, you've got to decide on your products. What are the products that are going to fit within that niche? Once you've done that, once you've figured out what your niche is and what products you want to sell in that niche, you got to start building a list. And I can't impress this upon you enough because I didn't do this in the beginning. I didn't know about building a list. I didn't know how important a list was. And it is tremendously important, okay? Now I work on my list every single day, day in and day out. I really toil away on building that list. But I want to tell you this up front, if you haven't started yet, the list is the most important thing. And it's not, a lot of people say, well, I'll just go out and buy 1,000 names or 10,000 or 100,000. It won't work, okay? It won't work because you're going to get crappy list. It's not going to be good. In addition to that, they don't know you, they don't trust you, so they're not going to buy from you. You've got to build your own list. Now, if you really want to get going in the beginning, I would suggest doing some webinars. Webinars are great. You can do joint venture webinars. You can say, hey, I'll promote your product. If you promote my product, there's various sites you can go to. You can go to clickbank.com. That's a really good one. Find some products there. Promote those, do a webinar on them, whatever you want to do. Sometimes they already have webinars set up there that you can just promote the other person's webinars. That's a great way to go about it. So let's go through all these steps here. First thing we want to do is we want to review the products in our niche, okay? How are we going to go about doing that? Now, by promoting somebody else's product, you kind of skip that step because you're already using all their research and all their data. You don't have to go through the, oh, I've got an idea. Let me see if I can come up with a product stage because that's already been done. Here's a good example right here I'm going to put up on the screen right here. This particular person here is promoting, looks like Hot Wheels, okay? They have over 300,000 subscribers for Hot Wheels. Now, I'm sure whatever your niche is, if it's less specific and you're reading this, you know, hey, you're going to go, wow, that's really great. That's a lot of people. I'd love to have that. Now this guy here, this is Philosopher's Notes. He sells books, okay? Book Notes for his particular niche. Now that's a special kind of review that usually does really well if you have a very specialized review. And also comparison with direct competitors. So here's another one right here and I just searched that it's a nice dicer versus a salad chef, okay? And if you notice, there's a bunch of videos here. Now what these people are doing is they're doing these videos and in the description of the video they're putting links to these products. So they're getting you to watch these videos and when you watch them, if you click the links they actually get paid and they make money. Now I did a search for best hair straightener and this person here actually does reviews and they did a review on hair straightener. So if somebody reads the whole review here and then there's a link where they can actually click through and buy that hair straightener. Now what they do on their blog is they review flat irons. That's a big thing for women. They want to straighten their hair and since they review them people come there to that site to get that information but if they click and go there and buy it boom, they've made some money. Now I would tell you if you're going to do these reviews and you're going to use affiliate links make sure it's a good product, okay? Don't just review anything and say it's good and it's not good because your reputation will get built on this. If you review a product and you say it's good and somebody clicks on it and buys it and they like it, they're coming back to your site and they're going to probably look at your other reviews. If on the other hand you do a review and the product is crap and they don't like it they're not coming back to your site to get any more advice on what they should buy. The more involved you can be with the product the better off you are. Now I have some affiliate links below and I have links down there for my camera and my lightings and the stuff I use in my office here and that's involved because I actually use them. These are things I use so I can recommend them to people. So the closer you can be to that the better off you are. If you're doing a review on this flat iron thing that women use and you're actually using it you like it and you talk about it and they see you using it you're a lot more likely to sell that product than if you don't know anything about it and you're a bald headed guy and it doesn't use a flat iron you don't know anything about these things. So try to find products that you can actually involve yourself with. Now up on the screen here I'm gonna put what an affiliate link looks like and we have some below. You don't see them cause they're embedded where it says click here but this is what the actual long link looks like. It's got the long in quotations reference tail at the end of the regular link so that they can actually get credit for this and they can actually get paid. Now you can sign up to be an affiliate at Amazon absolutely free it doesn't cost you anything. You do have to maintain a certain amount of sales to keep that account active if for any reason you don't have any sales in a certain period of time they will close your account. However, you can apply for another account the very same day and start all over again. This is a screenshot right here of Amazon and it shows you where you can get your affiliate links you can get a picture affiliate link you can get a text affiliate link and when you're logged in you're already in your affiliate account this will just show up in the top left hand corner of Amazon when you're there. So all you have to do is navigate to a particular product once you're on that product you go up click create link and it'll create for you in a text or picture or whatever you want. Now this will give you your own affiliate link like you see right here. You just copy this link and paste it anywhere you want when people go there by the product you get paid. Now here's a cool thing though side note to you if they don't buy the product but they stay on Amazon and they buy something else within the next 48 hours you get paid on that too. Now I said the next thing is to build a list. There's many ways to do this. I suggest cartra opt-in pages. I'll put a link below for cartra. You can watch a video on it. It's free to watch the video. If you sign up there's a $1 trial so it really doesn't cost much. Now some of the ways you can do this is through a hello bar. That's the bar at the top of your page let me put that up on the screen here. You can see that right up here. It says pre-order the newest book stab factory today and get it for less. And you can click right there when you click they opt in. So there's an action bar right there. The next way is an exit gate. So if somebody is hovering off your page a pop-up comes up and says hey click here enter your email to get 10% off or to get a gift card or to get a free download or whatever it is you can grab emails by doing that. And then the next way is through a sidebar widget. You've seen them off to the side before when they offer something a discount or a free product or whatever if you enter in your email. Now you wanna make this as simple as possible. If you give that visitor 20 things to do they're not likely to do any of them. Okay so you wanna make this one click one email really that simple. If you wanna ask for their first name you can but if you ask for their first name and email and last name and phone number and address and all that you're not gonna get any opt in. So you can't get a lot of information on these blind opt ins. Now here's an example right here. Free course double your traffic in 30 days plus secret bonus value to 300 bucks. Now as you see here this is a really simple one. You know you put your email in there yes let's start the free course yes let's start the free course. 100% privacy I will never spam you. So that's a pretty good opt in right there. Since you're doing things that are really specific maybe you're doing things on a mini oven or a juice maker or something like that. Since it's that specific it doesn't take a lot of names to make money off your list. I mean with your first 500 names you can start emailing them and already start making money. Now you're gonna wanna keep them engaged though. You can't just send them offers and sales all the time. You have to have something that has some value. Here's a one I found of Neil Patels. It says hey I just wanna share with you these latest quick sprout blog post. Let me know which thing. Triple your email opt in rate by using this six step lead magnet creation process. Creating great content isn't enough although getting lots of traffic and social shares is nice it's not the goal of content marketing. Pop quiz what is the real purpose of any marketing to make sales click to continue. So he's got several call to actions here and he has another call to action in the actual PS right here. Now every now and then one of these call to actions we're gonna ask them to buy something but you have to send some emails that give them great content that give them value in between where they will unsubscribe from your list. And then step three like I said earlier just educate them with webinars. You have to do webinars on an ongoing basis. You can do live webinars. You can use something like ever webinar where you have an evergreen webinar where you record it once and they can click to go view it but you gotta do some webinars. You gotta have something that keeps them engaged and keeps yourself in front of them. And you gotta think about this the way these live webinars works what makes you buy let's say in a refrigerator more? Seeing an ad somewhere or if you were to see a live person with that refrigerator showing you all the options in action. Well if they're in action and they're doing all this you're probably gonna be more likely to buy that refrigerator. Now I like using tools like Cartra. Cartra will automate a lot of this process for me my webinars, my emails, my opt-in pages and I really don't have to do much. I am gonna put a link below for Cartra make sure you check that out. You can watch a free video there. You don't need a credit card. If you do choose to get Cartra it's a $1 trial for 14 days which is a pretty good deal. Now the last step is you can actually grow your business with pay per click advertising. You're gonna have to spend a little bit of that money there but you know if you're paying a little bit to get traffic there and you're making some sales so be it. Now here's a example for lead pages and what they do here. This is their ads. You can see it. It came up on the top of the Google results and it says free live webinar. How to triple your conversions. Claim your spot today, register now. It's pretty simple. It's cut dry. I mean this tells exactly what it does and I like these better than these real wordy ads. Now here's an ad for unbalance. I think this is pretty good. It's four and a half stars 4.7. Of course they did that. It says make a high converting landing page in minutes 30 day free trial multi-user accounts, client management, real time stats. Now if you notice these aren't complete sentences. What these are is these are the benefits of using their product and the features. And one last example right here. This is Farada. It says join me for this free training on five figure launching. In this webinar you will learn what is launching and why does it matter. The three keys that five figure launches have in common and it says click to see more. So all you do is click to sign up right there. So there's a lot of ways to do this guys but bottom line is, bottom line is making five grand a month is not that hard to do if you just put forth the effort. If you want to go the affiliate route I would recommend click bank, share a sale. I use both of those. You could also use JV zoo, which is very, very good. There's also click booth ads for dough commission junction and the Amazon affiliate programs. There's a lot of stuff out there for you to pick from. I hope you enjoyed this video.
